...acquisition one more step towards Murdoch’s eventual media monopoly? Would the conservative mogul destroy The Journal’s objectivity? Would the acquisition spell the end of The Journal as we know it? We find much of this hype is ill-reasoned. Murdoch is at heart a businessman and as The Journal’s owner, he will be primarily interested in its success. He will most likely be loath to tamper with or degrade a brand that has made its reputation by consistently providing quality journalism. The financial consequences of any intervention by Murdoch would simply...
...obsession ("Force!" "Must escape!" "What if???"). If this sounds off-putting, jump back on, because Maddin's films - from Tales of the Gimli Hospital, his first full-length feature 20 years ago, to last year's silent feature Brand Upon the Brain!, and especially his magnificent 6-min.

Kirill is like a mutant Corleone: he has Sonny's hair-trigger impulses and Fredo's drug-addled weak streak, stemming from a need...
...relativism. "Our faith is decisively opposed to the attitude of resignation that considers man incapable of truth ? as if this were more than he could cope with," the Pope said to some 40,000 fellow pilgrims at Mariazell. "This attitude of resignation with regard to truth lies at the heart of the crisis of the West. If truth does not exist for man, then neither can he ultimately distinguish between good and evil." He acknowledged legitimate fears that "faith in the truth might entail intolerance," but insisted that the Catholic Church espouses not a threatening truth, but one that...
...troubles: a heavy debt exacerbated by an addiction to gambling - and, lately, to losing. Born into a working-class Irish-American family that also weighs on him, Michael was a policeman before joining the firm. The question the film asks: Is he, at heart, a cop who collars the bad guys, or the lawyer who gets them...
